[ Methods ] A total of 1 350 Duroc x Landrace Yorkshire piglets produced by 2-6 fetal Landrace x Yorkshire sows from 118 litters within a month were selected to be the test objects. All the newborn piglets were lactated by their parent sows. The test groups were divided according to different numbers （6 - 17） of live birth. The variance analysis were conducted on birth weight, litter weight at birth, number of 21-day-old weaning piglets, weaning weight, weaninl2g weight of litter, weaning survival rate and relative individual weight gain among different weeks. [ Results] Sows farrowing performance had significant influence on the growth performance of 21- day-old piglets. However, the influences among different traits varied, some were even on the contrary. With the increase of the number of live birth, the birth weight, weaning weight of litter and weaning survival rate showed a decline trend. And when the number of live birth was equal or more than 14, the weaning sur- vival rate dropped to below 90% （P 〈 0.01 ） ; when the number of live birth was 13, the litter weight at birth and weaning weight of litter reached the peak. What- ever the number of live birth increased or decreased, the weaning weight showed a regular decline trend. [ Conclusions] When the number of live birth changed from 11 to 13, the maximum values of the economic indicator （weaning weight of litter） and the technical specifications （weaning survival rate） were achieved.展开更多
